So here's a news flash, Snapdragon 820 will have a new successor and it'll be called the Snapdragon 821. It's been barely a year since the 820 was released and became the chipset to go for when it comes to flagship grade processors, but that won't be happening anymore in the future as Qualcomm has made the official announcement.
During their announcement, both still feature the same quad-core mechanics inside, but the 821 version has a 10% higher performance than the predecessor and it's clocked in at 2.4GHz instead of 2.2GHz. Other than that, they didn't say anything else regarding the new chipset. We suspect the GPU and other tech-specs should be the same but we could be wrong.
Aside from that, with the 821 version ready, we can also expect upcoming smartphones to adopt the processor namely the Xiaomi Mi Note 2, an unknown LeEco smartphone and maybe even the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 could feature it.
